DIRECTORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Directors are pleased to present the un-audited condensed interim financial information of the Company for the nine months' period that ended on June 30, 2025. This condensed interim financial information is presented to the shareholders of the Company in compliance with the International Accounting Standard No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", the Code of Corporate Governance, under Section 237 of the Companies Act, 2017 and the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance) Regulations, 2019.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Company incurred a loss after taxation of Rs. 322.871 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to a profit of Rs. 134.966 million in the same period last year Despite a significant rise in net sales to Rs. 1.442 billion from Rs. 527 million in the previous year, the Company's profitability continued to decline due to ongoing operational and cost challenges. The increase in sales was mainly driven by the Ethanol Division, which contributed a large portion of the revenue and partially reduced the overall impact of losses from the Sugar Division.
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE DISTILLERY DIVISION
During the reporting period, the Ethanol Division outperformed expectations, producing 8,321 metric
tons of ethanol. It recorded total sales of Rs. 1.268 billion, with Rs. 1.101 billion generated from exports and Rs. 166 million from local sales. The division posted a healthy gross profit and segment operating profit, reflecting the successful operation of the upgraded ethanol plant and improved access to international markets, which played a key role in this strong performance.
SUGAR DIVISION
The company is facing tough competition from the tax-free commercial gur manufacturing, causing sugarcane prices in the area to be 30% higher than in other regions, coupled with the reduced sugarcane availability compared to previous years. The management has decided to close the sugar operations to prepare for the next crushing season.
FUTURE OUTLOOK/ECONOMICAL CHALLENGES
The European Commission has suspended Pakistan's Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) status for ethanol imports, effective June 20, 2025. The suspension follows a request submitted in May 2024 by six EU member states, citing concerns over Pakistan's ethanol exports disrupting the EU market since 2022. This development is expected to adversely affect
the Company's ethanol sales to the European market and may lead to pressure on margins and a potential decline in profitability in the upcoming periods.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this quarterly condensed interim financial information are the same as applied in the preparation of the preceding annual financial statements of the Company.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Directors appreciate the spirit of good work done by the Company's staff at all levels.

Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the preparation of audited annual financial statements of the Company as at ended September 30, 2024.
Changes in accounting standards, interpretations and pronouncements
Standards and amendments to approved accounting and reporting standards that are effective
There are certain amendments and interpretations to the accounting and reporting standards, which are mandatory for the Company's annual accounting period commenced on October 01, 2022. However, these do not have any significant impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these condensed interim financial statements.
Standards and amendments to approved accounting and reporting standards that are not yet effective
There are certain amendments and interpretations to the accounting and reporting standards, that will be mandatory for the Company's annual accounting periods commencing on or after January 01, 2021. However, these will not have any material impact on the Company's financial reporting and, therefore, have not been disclosed in these condensed interim financial statements.
Accounting estimates, judgments and financial risk management
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting and reporting standards, as applicable in Pakistan, requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by the management in applying the Company's accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the annual audited financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the audited annual financial statements as at and for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The Company follows the practice of conducting actuarial valuation annually at the year-end. Hence, the impact of remeasurement of staff retirement benefits - gratuity has not been incorporated in these condensed interim financial statements.
